I'm using the Microsoft Advertising SDK for UWP: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=AdMediator.MicrosoftAdvertisingSDK and want to add native ads to my App

Here is code that demonstrates the issue: 

auto NativeAdManager = ref new Microsoft::Advertising::WinRT::UI::NativeAdsManager("d25517cb-12d4-4699-8bdc-52040c712cab", "10043134");
NativeAdManager->AdReady += ref new Windows::Foundation::EventHandler<Platform::Object^>([](Platform::Object ^ s, Platform::Object ^ ad)
    {
        Platform::String^ Title = static_cast<Microsoft::Advertising::WinRT::UI::NativeAd^>(ad)->Title;
        Platform::String^ desc = static_cast<Microsoft::Advertising::WinRT::UI::NativeAd^>(ad)->Description;
        __debugbreak();
    });
NativeAdManager->ErrorOccurred += ref new Windows::Foundation::EventHandler<Microsoft::Advertising::WinRT::UI::AdErrorEventArgs^>([](Platform::Object^ sender, Microsoft::Advertising::WinRT::UI::AdErrorEventArgs^ e) {
        auto x = e->ErrorMessage;
        __debugbreak();
    });
    NativeAdManager->RequestAd();

Once RequestAd() get's called, the AdReady event handler run, as expected, but the problem is the ad data is nonsense. For example Title is nullptr, Description is an invalid String handle, AdIcon is an invalid image class, etc. The ErrorOccurred event never fires. There's also some weird output in Visual Studio's debug output window:

 info:get_AppId() invoked.  [Windows::ApplicationModel::Store::CurrentAppFactory::get_AppId]
The thread 0x3ce0 has exited with code 0 (0x0).

What am I doing wrong?

  • This is a known issue and MSFT will roll out another release of Ads SDK which should stop causing this native Ad issue.
